Am I glad June is gone and July is here. June gives me "school blues". No, I am not of school-going age, obviously... which is why I get the blues every June morning, when I see students in crisp new uniforms and a bagful of notebooks and books walk or cycle to school. More than half a decade has gone by since I finished school, and yet I sigh everytime I see a school kid pass by. Why can't I go back to school, I wonder! Of course, college was equally enjoyable. But, I am sure adult literacy classes won't be so!

Hmmm... those were the best days of my life. The other day when I accompanied my sister for her admission interview, at my alma mater, I was so tempted to buy an application form for myself. Honestly. Perhaps I really ought to give up all my work, and go back to graduate school :-) Anybody wants to join me?

About Me

I am freelance writer, editor and writing coach working out of my home-office in Chennai. While I am interested in a variety of subjects ranging from science to philosophy, my favourites are technology, food and culture.
I believe in David Halberstam's test... when I get up every morning, I ask myself if I am still excited about the work I do every day. And the answer is unfailingly affirmative!
More than anything else, I am a full-time, hands-on mom! I love my family, and give them first priority come what may. I always believe that life's little joys and Kodak moments are too valuable to be overlooked. Spending a few minutes recollecting my son's childish talk is enough to motivate me to face another busy day full of zest!
